Right, so, Deadlock . That Valve shooter which an entire village worth of people were already playing before it was officially announced as being a thing. It's now letting players choose to turn those detected as having cheated into frogs before the ban hammer comes down.
As with any big, competitive online game, it didn't take long for Deadlock to develop some folks who were trying to gain an unfair advantage , even while it was still in in the penguins of Madagascar 'you didn't see anything (waves arms)' phase of existence. Thankfully, Valve's latest patch kicks off the process of tackling that issue. As you can see from the videos of unarmed amphibians hopping around in Deadlock matches, the publisher's taken a rather toungue-in-cheek approach to telling those pesky cheaters to knock it off and play properly.
"Added an initial Anti-Cheat detection system," reads a section of the game's latest set of patch notes, "When a user is detected as cheating, during the game session the opponents will be given a choice between banning the user immediately and ending the match or turning the cheater into a frog for the rest of the game and then banning them afterwards.""The system is set to conservative detection levels as we work on a v2 anti-cheat system that is more extensive," Valve continues, "We will turn on the banning of users in a couple of days after the update is out. When a match is ended this way, the results will not count for other players.
" So yup, if you hop into Dea.
